Plaque commémorative Vincent BOSCAROLLO, Commemorative plaque in Nice, France

Vincent Boscarollo plaque is a white marble memorial fixed to a wall near Place Garibaldi in Nice, France. It has a curved top edge, a small oval portrait of the man, two painted flags, and black engraved text remembering a fallen comrade.

Vincent Boscarollo, also called Tenda, died during the street battles that freed Nice from German occupation on August 28, 1944. Many other residents fell that same day, which marked the city's uprising before Allied troops arrived.

The plaque is part of a local memory trail that follows the spots where Resistance members were shot on August 28, 1944. People still stop here during yearly ceremonies, and children from the city sometimes sing the national anthem and partisan songs nearby.

Look for this plaque on a building wall in the area where Place Garibaldi meets Avenue Jean Jaurès. It is best visited on foot while walking through the old center of Nice, as the surrounding streets are narrow and busy.

The plaque includes the phrase “Souvenez-vous” carved in black, a direct call to keep his name in mind. It also sits near Place Garibaldi, where a ceremony during the memory circuit is held at noon every August 28.
